Chapter 480
Chapter 480
Juno took a two minute break to drink water.
«Juno will fight the archmaster! I can't believe that I will witness the legendary duel!» … «She's incredibly skilled, of course, but I don't think the young lady has a chance against the wise master.» … «And I wouldn't rush to such conclusions…»
«I accept bets of any size on the victory of Master Zheng! One to three!» – Kyon said enticingly. He couldn't miss a good opportunity to earn extra money. No one is prohibited from betting until there is a negative balance of points on the account. But if you go into a sufficient minus, then you can suddenly achieve your exclusion from school.
Of course, Lavr did not doubt the victory of his disciple. She said that in the illusory world she learned to fight, and so well that for a person who does not own Synergy, her results amaze any imagination. She is truly a monster who turned her body into a perfectly tuned instrument, and at the same time a virtuoso manipulator who reads people like an open book.
The students could not refuse the opportunity to earn money. If they bet 100 they would profit 400! Even if you are 70% sure of Juno's victory, it is profitable to take the risk and bet against her. Therefore, a lot of students flocked to the fat man in the mask, created from the element of the earth. Alas, he did not accept bets on Juno's victory.
After drinking the water, Juno returned to the arena.
~ding~
After the bell, the audience held their breath.
XiaoXiao prayed for the master's victory.
The old man took a defensive stance and beckoned the girl with his fingers, giving the initiative to her. According to his analysis, the strength of her style lies in defense, not in attack. So, it's enough to stick to passive behavior, and then she won't have a chance.
With a sweet smile, Juno approached the master and, sitting down abruptly, spun on the spot, sticking her foot out, thereby forcing the opponent to jump. Her emerald eyes flashed, and she, like a grasshopper, pushed off with her hands from the arena and kicked the old man in the stomach.
{It can't be! From such a position?!} – master Zheng immediately realized that being in the air, he would not be able to dodge the blow. If he blocks it, he will still fly outside the arena. All that remains is to try to grab her leg…
However, Juno had calculated everything a long time ago, so at the last moment she crossed her legs and, wrapping herself up, hit her opponent in the side with his heel.
As soon as Master Zheng touched the ground outside the arena, the bell rang.
~ding~
«M-master…» – XiaoXiao said.
Master Zheng stopped dead.
«T-three seconds! It took her three seconds to defeat the great archmaster in the first round!» … «She's a monster!» … «Damn it, why did I bet against Juno?!»
{«Master, what's the matter?!»} – Xiaoxiao mentally asked.
{«I couldn't take my feet off the ground… As soon as the sticking technique ceases to work, I become extremely vulnerable. The girl perfectly uses the rules of the fight to her advantage. She doesn't need to show her skills, she just needs to throw me off the arena! And yet I thought that she did not know how to attack, but I was mistaken…»}
{«So what are you going to do?»}
{«I will suppress her with my skill and pressure, of course!»}
~ding~
As soon as the next bell rang, Master Zheng ruthlessly attacked the blonde, but after five movements he was amazed to find that he was unable to impose his fight. Not at all, she is crowding him! Somehow, in an incomprehensible way, Juno sees through all his movements and tricks, whereas it is impossible to read her at all. Even during the duel with the legendary first master Felix, the old man did not experience such pressure.
~boom~
The fist hit the liver. Master Zheng gritted his teeth, retreating even faster. He was losing his positional advantage while being driven to the edge of the arena like cattle to pasture. Some cute little bitch is overpowering the wise great master! She beats him up like a punching bag in front of everyone! What a humiliation!
«Who is she?!» – stunned XiaoXiao hissed.
The spectators watched the fight with such a look as if they were in a trance: «Juno is crowding Master Zheng! The great archmaster! Am I dreaming or am I awake?!» … «"The Stones' Ruthless Angel" is the best! I've always said that!» … «Oh goddess, how can she be so skillful?!»
The grace and elegance of Juno fascinated and delighted students. She could compete with the flexibility of her body even with the best ballerinas. It seemed that a real battle angel fluttered around the arena, and this deadly, but hypnotically beautiful dance could not but delight everyone who was lucky enough to see it.
{You learned a lot in my world, Juno.} – Kyon nodded to himself with satisfaction.
All this time, Lovr kept a distance of 20 meters from the girl. As far as he knew, the connection with her soul is established from 15 meters, and then it only intensifies. Of course, if you do not feel any emotions, then you can not worry about being spotted, but he could never remain calm next to the hated beauty. It also makes no sense to suppress emotions with Synergy, because feelings arise in the soul. It's for the best. Even professional killers release a little bit of bloodlust before a sudden attack. Otherwise, Kyon would have died in Boston from Valeera.
{Is there really no way?} – Kyon did a lot of digging in the halls of the mind, sifting through tons of information from books, but he didn't find anything sensible. Once he nevertheless changed the vibration frequency of his soul through the illusory world, but he almost died.
Lovr already wanted to discard all these thoughts, but suddenly remembered that he also knows how to enter into a dark and light state of mind. Perhaps there is something in this? Worth a try!
Kyon entered a dark state of mind and approached Juno at 15 meters. Immediately, the emotions of the girl poured into the soul and mind: the anticipation of the reward! He remembered how she had beaten him in the mansion, and his mind was instantly filled with hatred.
{Didn't she notice?!} – Lovr was surprised. In order to make sure of this, he entered a normal state and immediately noticed that Juno frowned. Obviously, now she began to feel something, but she could not understand the reason for these emotions.
Kyon suggested that the dark and light state of mind does not change his soul vibration, but rather inclines it in one direction or another, like the high or low key of a melody. As a result, Juno's soul does not recognize the spiritual frequency of the young man, therefore it does not establish a connection with her and does not hear emotions, however, the opposite situation is with Lovr: his soul learns and hears everything. It's damn convenient.
Kyon decided to experiment with this in the near future, using Juno as a test subject, but now he was embarrassed by the chill he felt through his spiritual connection.
After thinking a little about the reason for this chill, Kyon remembered how Kara tried to seduce Juno in the palace by giving her an extract of "yin" beyond measure, while she herself drank an extract of "yang" from Ra sunflower. To put it another way, "yin" and "yang" are just converters. Something like chlorophyll, which, through photosynthesis, converts the energy of the sun into chemical energy. Also, "yin" and "yang" transform the energy of the soul (pure energy) into the energy of cold and heat, respectively. The channel of any element works approximately on the same principle, only in an absolute manner.
Kyon made a logical assumption that the flower in Juno's soul absorbed the essence of "yin" and became icy. What does it mean? A slight change in character; an increase in femininity and beauty; and most importantly, now the girl is a heavenly genius who knows 5 elements! And all this because of Kara's desire to seduce the lady of the Stones.
But Juno will have to pay for the fifth element (cold). Now, if she meets a practitioner whose soul is saturated with the essence of heat (yang), like Kara or Prince Charles, she will unconsciously be drawn to him. After all, two opposite elements tend to each other. In addition, sex with such a practitioner will benefit both. That is, from now on, the girl is ready for a pair workout in bed, but only with the chosen ones. But losing her virginity will turn into a loss of development for her, while the lucky one will not only break through many stages, but will also be pretty rejuvenated for almost half a lifetime, and even get a moderate cleaning of the keys (which is useless for Kyon).
~ding~
As soon as the old man was thrown out of the arena again, the bell rang.
«Juno won in the second round! She defeated master Zheng! Incredible!» … «She didn't miss a single blow from the archmaster! How many fighting fists does she have then?!»
Master Zheng's eye was twitching in a nervous tic. If Juno were 30-40 years old, he could still put up with it, but she is a very young girl! Yesterday's brat shouldn't suppress the archmaster so mercilessly. There is nothing more shameful than the total defeat of the little one, especially when a whole billion and the dignity of the 4th master in the world are at stake.
«Master, why is she so skillful?!» – XiaoXiao said, clenching his fists. He still could not come to his senses from the realization that the blonde deliberately lured him into a trap: she raised the rate to a billion and took the promise, convincing him that she wanted to become his servant.
{«She's hiding something… Some secret. And I can't figure out which one.»} – suspicions about this insidious fox have long been creeping into his head.
{«Then let's go together?»}
{«Do you want to turn me into a laughing stock?!»} – the old man was angry mentally.
{«B-but then you lose, and…»}
{«Forget it. You've already lost anyway. You can't participate twice.»}
Master Zheng entered the arena and spoke gloomily: «Tell me, who is your master?»
«The messenger of the goddess.» – Juno smiled with genuine pride.
The students looked at each other in amazement. Some suspected this, but refused to believe that in a few months with Kyon, she could learn how to fight so well.
«I see…» – the old man nodded, clearly not believing what he had heard.
~ding~
The third round has begun.
From the very first seconds, Master Zheng felt even more pressure on him than last time. The girl pushed him to the edge of the arena so fast that a lump of humiliation and rage rolled up to his throat, as if he was an amateur who had come out against a master! It turns out that earlier she did not fight in full force?!
When Juno struck with her fist, which was guaranteed to push the opponent out of the arena, the archmaster's face suddenly distorted into an angry grimace, he regained his development and grabbed her fist with lightning speed.
«Sly petty deceiver, here you are!» – Master Zheng growled.
«What's the matter?!» – the girl exclaimed uncomprehendingly.
The audience began to exchange puzzled glances.
XiaoXiao's heart beat faster.
Kyon frowned, and his face tightened a little.
Juno was indignant: «"Is it possible that the wise master Zheng could not accept defeat from the little girl and came up with something to justify himself?!»
«You can say whatever you want, you brat, but this old man with a hundred years of experience has figured out your trick!» – he turned to the audience and spoke in the tone of a judge passing an accusation. – «Your beloved "Ruthless Angel of the Stones" is actually a vile liar! All her vaunted skills are utter nonsense! No messenger of the goddess trained her! Every time she fought someone, she used the ability of a unique body, allowing her to read the intentions of the opponent's soul! Whoever she fights for "fighting skill", she will always be one step ahead!»
The stunned students caught their breath. They couldn't believe their ears.
XiaoXiao slyly narrowed his eyes and loudly exclaimed: «Oh goddess, and indeed, during our battle, she did not react to some of my attacks, as if she knew that I would retreat at the last moment! I would never have guessed, because I am inexperienced and stupid, but my wise master revealed her deception! Otherwise, how else is it possible for a young girl to suppress the fourth master in the world so mercilessly?!»
Master Zheng confirmed the words of the disciple: «I personally tested my hypothesis twice: I struck two identical blows, but I stopped one of them at the last moment. Juno did not react to it in any way, as if she knew the future.»
Juno's mouth opened and closed from indignation, but she could not utter a word. If she had been accused of being a witch and had to be burned, she would have felt calmer.
«Mr. XiaoXiao's words sound reasonable!» … «Master Zheng does not waste words!» … «Are you crazy?! Juno is an angel in the flesh! She can't be a liar!» … «I will never believe in this utter nonsense!» … «The master is wrong!» – verbal chaos began among the students. Juno's fans defended her as best they could.
XiaoXiao smiled to himself from ear to ear: {My master is just a genius among geniuses!}
«Y-you are blatantly lying! You just made up an excuse for yourself to save face!» – Juno excitedly objected, trying to pull her hand out of his bony grip, but the old bastard didn't even feel her pathetic attempts.
Master Zheng coldly snorted at her words: «Justify yourself as much as you want, but the decision here is made by the one who is older, wiser and stronger.» – he said this loudly and steadily, fully confident in his impunity.. – «It is strictly forbidden to use a unique body during a "skill of combat" duel, therefore, by the power vested in me, I assign Juno Stone a technical defeat!» – he looked at the pretty pale face of the girl with a venomous grin. – «You have lost the bet, which means that today you will go to Saturn, where you will become a servant to my disciple for the rest of your life!»
